Roach’s The Top Gear Story passes itself off as a behind-the-scenes tell-all of the show more than 350 million car enthusiasts around the world watch. Sadly, the book reads as though Roach read about Top Gear on Wikipedia, and then hopped on Netflix to watch every episode.

My main problem with TheTop Gear Story is that Roach doesn’t bring any new or particularly interesting information on the series to the table; rather he just reiterates first-person accounts and hearsay into a book of his own, often retelling old stories in a grating and sensationalist tone. Also, we couldn’t help but notice that in The Top Gear Story, Roach calls May’s cat, Fusker, a dog.

This is basically a big TG fan recounting various episodes and the presenters' articles and interviews. Setting aside some facts he got wrong (Fisher is a cat; it's James, not Jeremy who is the same age as Oliver), this book lacks any kind of "insider" info. If you've seen the more popular antics, and have ever read about the presenters in a paper, then you're already aware of everything in this book. I can't even consider it an encyclopedic type book to recommend as reference. In essence, it's not The Top Gear Story, it's just a bloke going on and on (and on) about his favorite show and his unbridled hero worship.

Ultimately, The Top Gear Story proved to be a let-down for this Top Gear fan – . Those who have never watched the show and want to learn lots about it quickly might find something here, but ultimately I suspect Clarkson, Hammond, and May would think of The Top Gear Story as the Morris Marina of books. Anyone have a piano?
